Phoenix Suns watch

I would also say with the play-in that you can't really tank to get a seed. You could play any of four teams though I think most would agree that present-state, LAL and GSW would be who'd you like to avoid.
 
Suns got 2 huge wins via lame *** weak calls on the last shot in the last month. Lame.
They say that bad calls have a tendency to even out. I certainly hope that is the case. There have been probably 6 separate games in the past month where the Jazz lost or the Suns or Lakers won based on single or multiple bad calls. With all the bad calls against us recently if a few of those could balance out it would be great as we go into the playoffs. I am not holding my breath.....

Well its back and forth basketball karma. Suns got the short end of the stick when they lost the back to back games against Denver when the Suns were still struggling, and Jokic/Murray both got away with late missed calls in each game.

It comes and goes. Odds are the next time the Suns are in a close game, the calls will go against them.

In fact, it WILL go against them if its against the Warriors or Lakers.

EDIT:

I can almost guarantee Phoenix will NOT get the calls. Their young players have NEVER been to the playoffs. That is a huge reason young teams never win. Phoenix is a nice story, but in the playoffs, they will get worked over by the referees whom will favor the more experienced teams.

Utah doesn't have that to worry about.

There are teams that get calls and teams who don't, unfortunately, Utah is one of those teams that don't get calls.
 
Someone tell me about Denver/LAC. Denver has tie breaker and LAC may be tanking and could be tied up after tonight.
 
The Clippers would have to out-tank BOTH the Rockets and the Thunder. That would be quite a feat.
But a Rockets tank evens up the loss column and Denver could only match them loss for loss and since they own the tie-breaker.

I'm assuming that Denver would lose to Portland and the Clippers would beat the Thunder. The Thunder need to lose to keep pace with the Magic and the Cavs in a tank race.

That Denver/Portland game will decide seeds for both. Portland might end up in the play-in if they lose and Denver might be 3rd if they win.
